Using Supply Layout Grids
A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These
markers help you accurately position information on your label.
Decide whether you want to design formats using English, Metric,
or Dot measurements. Choose from the following grids:
◆
English
The English grid, shown to the
right, is measured in 1/100
inches.
◆
Metric
The Metric grid is measured in
1/10 millimeters (mm).
◆
Graphic
The printer uses dots to print
images on a label. The
printhead has 203 dots per inch
(dpi) or an optional 300 dots per
inch printhead depending on
your printer.
Choose English or Metric units when designing formats to use
with different printers. English or Metric units allow more direct
use of formats on printers with different density printheads.
If you want to use supply layout grids, a copy of each is in
Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."
